Too many bunnies

Apparently there are too many rabbits at University of Victoria.

For reasons unclear, except perhaps squeamishness about gassing the warrens, the University formed a task force to figure out what to do (I vote for "leave em alone" but I'm a long way away). The task force chair on the radio was asked how many bunnies were on campus and said the following and I repeat it here as a wonderful example of unnecessary complex language:

"That's one of the issues the working group has been tasked to undertake"

How about "we'll try to figure it out"?

Victoria has a huge rabbit infestation problem. I don't think leaving them alone is an option anymore. In fact, I thought they had already moved to exterminate them in many parts of town.

we are heading in one hell of a depression so I'd support relaxing laws against snaring them for food.
